Photo Trippin'

I was on an excruciatingly slow line at the DMV inspection station when I noticed the wonky reflection the tail lights of the car ahead of me cast on my hood. Add odd blue lighting from above and it made for some entertaining moments.

I wish I could have taken more shots but I was told to stop the moment the security guard saw my camera. I suppose there's a huge risk for terrorism at DMV stations - from consumers of course.

Finally back home with my deemed safe vehicle I took the original shot ...

... and had a little fun trying to recreate what I was imagining as I sat in line.

This last shot surprised me. I have no idea where that Free something sign was. I never saw it.

And it's so ironic, because I took photo of something last week and then used the photo edited software over at Luniapic to adjust the photo a bit, and it came out VERY similar to your third one down!!!!

Wonderful, Dianne. You're an artist. (I had to go back to the first photo to see the Free Something and yes, it's there but not as obvious.)Can't use a camera in a DMV lineup? Well, there you go, you lawbreaker, you. Who would ever have guessed?— K

I love what you did with the original picture : it is so tripping funny ! I also loved the way you told how you got it in the first place, with the guard, and all : so exciting... Nice sharing this week again.

You're just like my husband. He'll see a reflection in the most mundane of items and there he is with his camera. Also, he's been reprimanded by more security guards than I can count! I can see where security at the DMV would have to be tight. The DMV itself incites rage in the otherwise obedient citizen.

The idea of security guards at vehicle inspection station bothers me in so many ways. I guess it's needed to protect the workers from the irate people sitting in long lines while the inspectors 'work hard'. Yea, that's the ticket.

As someone who 'grew up' (ha) in the '70's, I can really appreciate these photos. The second looks like a Hendrix album cover and the third looks like the ceiling at a disco (not that I ever set foot in one). I think these are freekin' creative!!
